Sainte Cécile les Vignes is a small peaceful village spreading over the plain in an area known as the "Provence of the Popes", on the northern border of the Vaucluse and the Drôme. As its name suggests, here you are in one of the most important Côtes du Rhône wine-making areas.

So you will not be surprised to see acres of vine fields all around Sainte Cécile. The vineyards line the road, right up to the heart of the village. Here you will be greeted first of all by the large Saint Cécilia co-operative, which marks the entrance to the village and produces the Chantecôte AOC.

The oldest part of the village comprises ancient houses built right up against each other. As you walk around, you cannot fail to see the Clock Tower, crowned by its wrought iron campanile with a small bell. You can also visit Sainte Cécile church and take a look at the mairie. Don't miss the 14th century Tour de Défense which houses the Tourist Office and the wine tasting cellar run by the Wine-growers of Sainte Cécile. It's time to take a breather .... ! ! ! and meanwhile you can admire the beautiful 14th century vaulted roof.
